Surgery

Our skilled New Hampshire surgical teams, including board certified surgeons and highly trained veterinary technicians, make Port City a great choice for your pet’s veterinary surgery.

Advances in veterinary medicine and veterinary surgery have kept pace with those in human medicine and surgery. Over the last two decades, medical technology and techniques have advanced rapidly, making this an increasingly specialized field. A board certified veterinary surgeon possesses the experience, training, and expertise to manage complex surgical procedures. Surgeons within the Ethos network have access to advanced diagnostic modalities and surgical equipment.

We are honored that you have chosen to trust us with your furry family member's care

Port City Veterinary Referral Hospital opened its doors in 2008 with 15,000sqft of space and 11 exam rooms. At the time, the hospital felt enormous with plenty of room for growth. Now, in 2022, we are caring for 76% more pets than we were in just 2019. This has put a strain on our capacity to invite all of our clients into our hospital.

To meet the needs of the community, and serve as many pets as we can, we will be keeping curbside care in place while we lease and renovate a new, larger building nearby. We’re looking forward to a bright future in a bigger hospital where we can care for all your clever, cute, sneaky, wonderous pets. We ask you to understand and forgive us a little as we navigate the next phase in our evolution.
